running


once upon a time, i was really good about exercising. i would go running six days a week, i felt really great about myself, and i even ran a half-marathon last november with sarah and my study abroad friends.
fast forward. i don't seem to have the time or the desire to go running every day. or any day. it's SO hard for me to want to wake up early to go running. last week, we didn't go running at all. i was so grouchy and irritable all week--until i realized what was wrong. when we finally did go running, all that grouchiness was GONE.
i'm just discovering what a difference exercising has on my mental state. we went running three times this week and i'm promising myself to be faithful this whole year to control my stress level.
also, on an unrelated note, can i just say that I LOVE FALL? i walk around hyperventilating because of the beautiful trees everywhere around campus. i love it i love it. snow, stay away until the leaves are gone!
